Megan Smith joins Emma Gunnin and Kayla Razo to share some advice from a young professional woman in AT to upcoming professional women in Athletic Training. Megan Smith showed my family around the University of Delaware while we were on vacation. Megan, thanks for showing my family around the facilities of the University of Delaware.   It was an absolute pleasure getting to meet virtual friends in real life. What is new with Women in AT? Recent addition of new board members to create new opportunities for work and growing the board.  Rolling out mentorship for members. Wanting engagement and also to answer questions, looking for more opportunities. Possible meet up at NATA and a book club,  Created a book club during COVID to help engage, What Made Maddie Run was recommended to read. We are going to try to find something light for the close of the spring season. Emma is about to graduate and enter the workforce.  What do you wish you knew? Have conversations early about improvement. Ask them to regularly meet with you about how you can improve. Have a growth mindset. I wish I had someone who came to me offering to help and mentor me.  Don't be afraid to ask for help or admit you do not have the answer. Schedule regular meetings with your supervisor. Kayla is in her first year as an MAT student wanting to work in college athletics.  What should she know? Work with smaller groups Develop strong relationships Proactively communicate Take note of the communication style of your coaches to improve the process. How do I deal with an “old school” coach who does not trust a female? Try to have all of the answers ready.   Be open with communication. Make sure you document any sort of misunderstanding.  Think about the long-term goal. Communicate with your supervisor often so you are on the same team and they can help you work through the struggles. How do I transition into being a professional? That grind mentality doesn't go away…unless you are burnt out and looking to leave. Take care of yourself, fill your cup. I enjoy working out through CrossFit Monday-Friday I do a 5-minute journal daily. There is nothing wrong with the grind if it brings you joy and passion. One thing we do at the University of Delaware is a cross-coverage calendar so we can plan around life events.  Do you know what you, as your best self looks like?  Write it down so you know what “center” is for you.

My guest today is Jenn Malecha, the Wholistic Health Boss. She wasn't always as health conscious as she is today as we'll talk about in the beginning of our talk. Jenn empowers clients by teaching them a model of self-care to relieve a variety of health complaints and improve overall wellbeing. Using a functional diagnostic and holistic approach, she helps to identify healing opportunities (within the hormone, gut and immune systems, etc.) that are creating dysfunction or imbalance in the body. Then, she works together with her clients to restore balance in the body using tools to improve diet, rest, exercise, stress reduction and natural supplementation to promote the healing process. In this episode, we discuss autoimmunity, where to start with testing, why getting healthy first is the secret to weight loss, and more!   Time Stamps:   (0:30) Testing Over Guessing (2:48) Athletic Training to Personal Training (8:55) Looking At Autoimmune (16:43) My Shoulder Surgery Progress (17:14) Where To Start With Testing (30:00) Getting Healthy First to Lose Weight (32:12) Thyroid Health (38:25) What's Going On With Poor Thyroid Health (43:02) Where To Find Jenn -------------------- Website: https://wholistichealthboss.com/   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wholistichealthboss/ --------------------    My Membership: https://www.carolcovino.com/program/forever-fit-circle/   --------------------   My Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carolcovinofitness/   --------------------   My Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@carolcovinofitness   --------------------   My Book: FINDING PURPOSE IN THE PAUSE  

What is your AT Story? Lived in Las Cruces, New Mexico and was a high school student and was seen by the head AT throughout high school George Westbrook became a mentor to me I became a biology premed student and then hit a dead end. Certified in 1980 Have had a great 45-year career Worked at D1, D2 and D3 levels Worked in high school and with the Dallas Cowboys One of the unique things about California is the diversity. So many different settings Started working in a faculty clinic at New Mexico State and finished at Cal State Fullerton 4500 AT in CA I only represent 3000 of those because they are the certified ones What is a unique aspect of Athletic Training in your state? We initiated our first licensure in 1986, but it got vetoed by the governor's office That has happened about 5 times since then. We have our first title protection regulation on the books right now. “You can not say you are an ATC without actually being one.” Our next step is to have all ATs registered and have licensure.   We currently have almost no enforcement other than working with the leadership and showing them the law.  But there is no penalty at this point. We field 4-5 “poser” emails per month to weed out the uncertified ATs in the secondary setting. At about 55% of ATs in secondary school. Diversity -  The state is huge Ureka at the tip of Cali vs the AT in LA are very different. We are committed to DEI efforts Public school and private school Some schools have 3-5 ATs on staff, but down the road the public school has 1 per campus. Many of our ATs work in industrial (Amazon…) and outreach to the high school. You're recruiting ATs to work in California…what is your sales pitch? There are a lot of opportunities.  The jobs being created are properly vetted and often include overtime.  The community of ATs here is amazing. The weather is second to none.

What is your AT Story? When did you get introduced to Athletic Training? Where did you go to college? Where was your first job? How long have you been practicing? Typical high school athlete story” Kyle had an ankle injury that was pretty significant, but ended up just walking it off. He later sustained a concussion but kept playing because we didn't have the tools to identify a concussion back then. Kyle talked with a friend who was a football player and one of his friends was an AT student.  That sparked an interest and he began working with Chad Starkey in Ohio He went to WVU for a master's degree.  Part-time he worked with a D3 school and loved getting to work all of the sports. Kyle finally decided he needed to get out of the 3-hour radius he had always lived in. Alabama was the furthest job offer he received from home, so he took that one. What is a unique aspect of Athletic Training in your state? Everything is 3-5 hours away, mountains, beaches, big cities… Spiritually I am free to love others. The people are great. Nobody has a personal agenda, just people looking to do the work. I live by work-life integration so that everything benefits. What is a big challenge for Athletic Trainers in Alabama? Involvement.  They need people to get involved. Alabama had a council of 7 members when Kyle started and now has 17 and most of the positions are full. In 2020 we updated our state practice act and had to redo it in 2021 after COVID We created the advisory council which allows us to have 3 doctors and 3 ATs as the decision-makers. Retention is a big challenge. We have focused our effort on the rural incentive grant to help the 1-3A schools' Athletic Trainers to get up to $7500 working at those smaller schools Alabama is starting a loan reimbursement program for people graduating with an MAT degree who can get $7500 for 5 years.

Plyometrics play a crucial role in athletic adaptation. There needs to be a balance between stiffness and compliance in training. Volume is essential for tendon development. Isometric training can provide unique benefits for athletes. Young athletes often face tendon issues due to overtraining. Biomechanics significantly influence injury risks in athletes. Extreme isometrics can lead to remarkable performance improvements. Understanding foot contact is vital for effective training. Coaches must consider the long-term effects of training on athletes.  Embracing failure is crucial for growth in training. Pulling harder can help overcome feelings of impending failure. Muscle coordination is key to effective training. Energy systems play a significant role in performance. Tendons require specific loading techniques for rehabilitation. Long-duration holds can benefit tendon health. Blood flow restriction may aid in tendon recovery. Integrating different training modalities enhances performance. Foot mechanics are essential for injury prevention. Understanding individual biomechanics can improve training outcomes.   Rob's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/reevolutionathletics/ Rob's Twitter: https://x.com/hfjumps Rob's Website: https://www.re-evolutionathletics.com/home

Welcome to JAT Chat, presented by the Journal of Athletic Training, the official journal of the National Athletic Trainers' Association. In this episode, Dr. Shelby Baez is joined by Dr. Gianluca Del Rossi from Creighton University to delve into the compelling findings from Dr. Del Rossi's manuscript, "Student Debt Associated with Entry-Level Athletic Training Education," published in the December 2024 issue of the Journal of Athletic Training.   Article: https://tinyurl.com/5xkcy8hf  Key Points: The average education-related debt-to-income ratio reported by entry-level athletic trainers is considered high by finance industry standards. High debt-to-income ratio and monthly payment debt-to-income ratio related to student debt portends the possibility of experiencing financial challenges postgraduation for entry-level athletic trainers.   Guest Bio: Dr. Del Rossi is a Professor in the School of Pharmacy and Health Professions at Creighton University. His research is focused on pre-hospital emergency care and most recently on education-related topics.

This week's show brought to you by: MAS Iron Outside of training deficiencies, low iron is one of the most common reasons for poor results during workouts and races.  Recent research indicates that almost 56% of male runners and 86% of female runners suffer from an iron deficiency that severely hampers performance. The problem with eating iron-rich foods or supplementing with traditional iron supplements is that iron is notoriously difficult for the body to absorb and utilize. In fact, only about 25% of dietary iron found in animal sources is absorbed while 17% or less of the iron from plant sources is absorbed. But MAS Iron has found a way to combat these absorption issues to ensure you can get the iron you need for health and performance. By combining the most efficiently absorbed form of elemental iron with clinically proven ingredients to aid in absorption, MAS Iron performs like no other iron product on the market. In fact, clinical research has shown the combination of ingredients in MAS Iron can quadruple absorption and increase bioavailability by 30%, all while reducing GI issues by 50%.

Talk Back to MeI find it unabashedly funny when people argue passionately over what they should or shouldn't train, especially when we all know neither party is practicing what they preach. The drama over such low hanging fruit cannot be allowed to go to waste, so in this episode we are addressing one formula for ensuring that you're excellent at the fundamentals, and capable in rare, but potentially disastrous situations. The 80/20 rule applies to more than just training, but in this case we are looking at it in a more narrow sense to improve the little time that we do have to get more done. Use Code 2025deaddrop10 for 10% off your order at obsidianarms.comThis episode has been sponsored by Obsidian Arms, a manufacturer of tools, parts and firearms, as well as operating as an OEM shop for those looking to bring excellence to the market.

Anyone interested in scheduling an appointment may call the Geneseo Medical Group at 309-944-1275. He will also accept walk-ins. “I chose chiropractic care because I like the hands-on approach to helping people feel better,” said Dr. McConnell, who uses a variety of techniques but also suggests his patients get muscle work to aid in their healing. “I am committed to providing each patient with exceptional care, offering personalized healthcare solutions tailored to each patients' unique needs.” Dr. McConnell is from Erie, where he resides with his wife and three children. He graduated from Erie High School, Central College, and Palmer College of Chiropractic. He obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Athletic Training and has a Doctorate in Chiropractic.

Garvin takes us on a journey from his childhood in Mililani, where he played soccer and baseball, to his current role in athletic training and education.
